TOPICS OVERVIEW

Are you interested in a specific topic? Here you will find the latest news from this website sorted by relevant topics.

Biodiversity

The seas and oceans are home to millions of marine species – the essential “performers” of coastal, marine and ocean ecosystem services. They provide oxygen to breathe and food for more than one-third of humanity. If species are severely depleted or become extinct and thus lose their ecological functions, the consequences can be severe.

Management

Humans have also created borders in the ocean and created zones where ownership of certain areas and their resources are regulated. But ocean currents transport water masses, living creatures, pollutants and waste across borders and into remote areas. Successful ocean management therefore requires collaborative solutions aimed at protecting and using the oceans sustainably.

Usage

Fish and other sea creatures are an important source of food for humans. In addition, there is the extraction of resources, the construction of plants for energy production and shipping traffic. In addition, more and more people are seeking recreation on cruises and along the coasts. Increasing use is putting pressure on marine ecosystems.

Pollution

Increasing pollution from waste and harmful substances is putting a considerable strain on the oceans. Floods of plastic waste on the beaches or oily seabirds after a tanker accident are particularly visible. However, most environmental problems do not occur so openly, but far from the coast and hidden beneath the sea surface. Noise is also a serious threat to marine mammals.
